El canibalismo en las sociedades neandertales europeas del Paleolítico Medio: una exploración de contextos y causas

ABSTRACT This project focuses on the study of Neanderthal remains associated to cannibalistic practices found in European sites. The identification of this kind of behavior has increased largely over the last years and now includes sites that are well studied and published, such as Krapina, El Sidró...
